we heard the president of the united states. they all went out of their way raising the whole simpson balls commission but they all rejected it when they had an opportunity to promote it. were you surprised by that, jeff? >> it was a little surprised by that. and i agree with ryan. this campaign's slogan is forward and they were promising he would give a window into the next four years. but at the same time it was not a state of, you know, the union address. it was an acceptance speech for the party's nomination. and, i guess looking at what they were trying to achieve, simply overall was to ask voters for their patience, to ask for a little more time to get things done. and he was talking to voters who already supported him once four years ago. that's all he needs. i mean, he is not trying to necessarily puersuade any new voters. he's trying to re-engage and re-energize some voters who may not be quite as sure of him this time. overall i don't think it will go down as one of his best speeches. but often speeches in the history
